Hi Paul,   Happy New Year

Is there anyway that someone else has acces to the laptop?

The closest I came was to interpret EZYTCH as EZY Tech
and there is such a company  http://www.ezytech.com/

Whether there's a connection with this at all, I don't know ,
but something definitely changed.

I guess you still have a copy of the original login settings,
but won't help is something was changed without your knowledge.

That's the best I can do for now.
